[AFFUG Discuss] Problem loading external .SWF file...

[Laurence MacNeill]

Why am I getting the following error: "Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed." when given the following code in an AIR 2.0 app:

import mx.core.UIComponent;

private var loader:Loader;
private var printSWF:MovieClip;
private var swfTimer:Timer;

private function init(): void {
         loadPrintingApp( "[my domain removed]", "QMS_test", "2010_iwcs");
}

public function loadPrintingApp(domainName:String, loginFolderName:String, showFolderName:String): void {
        var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "http://" + domainName + "/" + loginFolderName + "/printing_" + showFolderName + ".swf");
        loader = new Loader();
         loader.load(request);
         loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadIt);
        var myUIComponent:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
         myUIComponent.addChild(loader);
         addChild(myUIComponent);
}

private function loadIt(event:Event): void {
        swfTimer = new Timer(10);
         swfTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, swfCheck);
         swfTimer.start();
}

private function swfCheck(event:TimerEvent): void {
        printSWF = new MovieClip();
        printSWF = loader.content as MovieClip;
        if (printSWF.application != null ) {
                  swfTimer.stop();
                  printSWF.application.showName = "2010_iwcs";
        }
}

In the code above, the init() function is run on the applicationComplete event...

The swf file that I'm trying to load is very simple, it contains only the following:

<mx:Application xmlns:mx=" http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml " minWidth=" 400" minHeight=" 300" >

         <mx:Script>
                 <![CDATA[
                 [ Bindable ] public var _showName:String;

                 public function set showName(s:String): void { _showName = s; }
                 ]]>
         </mx:Script>

         <mx:Label x="10 " y="10 " text="Print Assist for {_showName } loaded!" />

</mx:Application>


So basically, if this all loads correctly, I should have an AIR app that shows a blank screen, except for the words "Print Assist for 2010_iwcs loaded!".  Simple enough -- yet it won't work...  And I R Confused!   :-)

Thanks for any help you can give me.
